Why can’t the county executive, in each county where a double-dipping sheriff works, arbitrarily reduce their salary to an amount not more than the amount they are now earning from their respective counties?

In other words, Sheriff Kevin Walsh would be paid a salary of no more than $31,388. ($110,000 minus $31,388 equals the same amount of money he is making from Onondaga County, with his $78,612 pension.)

How could anyone comPlain? They are making the same amount as the payer offered him to be paid. Remember the pensions will be there whenever he wants to completely retire, and the respective county is able to save some money, that is, if any county is trying to save any money in this banner year.
